    It sounds like it will allow us to absorb a contract since it's the difference between Crabbe and Nicholson's contract. So we can use it to take on a contract without it hurting us.

    I think... all that stuff is confusing to me.

    Or just in a trade right? Like if we sent out Meyers + harkless + davis and got back gordon it would be like losing 26m off our salary cap and not taking on any money? Am I off base here?

    Can't combine players with TPEs. Has to be two separate deals.

    Considering its a trade exception, yes. We would be able to artifically add that amount to make trades work, saving us money. I THINK. I could totally be wrong.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    You can't add it to anything to make a trade work. The exception would need to be traded straight up for a player.

    Not quite. We're below the apron, but any MLE use would put us back above it.

    we had to eat over 6 mil per in Nicholson's salary and they netted out getting Crabbe for 11 mil or so per, signing Crabbe last yr was not smart, but at least it did not cost us an asset besides the 2.7 mil per yr assuming we "stretch" Nicholson as reported

    Yes and no. As long as a single deal could technically be split into two separate CBA-approved deals, it could still be done.

    Sure, but then we would be back in the same miserable cap situation as before the Crabbe trade.
